Coming up we have a lightweight MMA rules bout between Jonny Beano (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Gray Lugon (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Lugon comes into a darkened arena with his song building. Roulette-System of a down kicks in, the lights come on and the crowd goes wild! What a showman! Gray Lugon struggled to make weight for this fight. He only made it down to 156.3lbs at the first attempt and had to take the additional two hours to make the official bout weight. Let's see how much it's taken out of him. Gray Lugon will no doubt be looking to use his reach advantage to good effect.

Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between Bobby White (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Senor Dos Santos (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). White comes to the cage accompanied by Kanye West - Stronger. These two fighters really are very evenly matched on the feet - it will be fascinating to see who can assert themselves in that aspect of the fight.
